Innocent

I stood up immediately and bit my lip. "She-she what?" Regina asked, her voice shaking. He nodded and Regina's breathing sped up, then she completely froze. "Okay kid. Go back to your room alright? We'll have breakfast after she leaves." I said and walked over to both of them, rubbing Regina's back.

He hugged us both tightly before he ran back to his room. I pulled Regina in my arms and she looked into my eyes. I cupped her cheeks in my hands and i saw the tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry baby. I'm going to be right there with you. If she even tries to touch you, i will make sure it's the last thing she does." I said and she nodded.

The tears fell from her eyes and i pulled her into my arms. It's crazy to see this strong woman crying. But that just means Cora is really fucking horrible.

The doorbell rang and Regina pulled out of my arms, wiping her tears away. She grabbed my hand and we walked downstairs.

We stood in front of the door and Regina took a deep breath, then pulled her hand free from mine and opened the door. An older brunette immediately pushed in.

"It's so rude, Regina, to keep someone waiting outside in the cold. Were you raised in a barn?" Cora snarled, not seeming to notice me and Regina sighed as she closed the door.

"I'm sorry mother." Regina said in a practiced voice. "I am here because your sister has informed me that you are seeing someone." Cora said, disgusted and Regina raised an eyebrow.

"Zelena wouldn't tell you that." Regina said and Cora shrugged. "Alright so maybe i hired someone to watch you. And i've been informed that you're seeing a 23 year old who you knocked up. I am very disappointed in you. I didn't raise you to just go around humping random women. I'd rather you be with a man. But since you wouldn't have that hideous thing between your legs removed, you now have a 14 year old son and an unborn child. You are proving to be quite a whore." Cora snarled and Regina's mouth hung open.

"Listen here lady. I don't know you, but i'm absolutely disgusted you would talk to your own daughter like that. She is not a whore and she didn't just hump a random woman. We're in love bitch. She raised an amazing son with no help from a mother. She is an amazing mother and an amazing woman who doesn't deserve to be spoken to like that. She deserves your respect." I cut in angrily.

Cora looked taken aback and Regina looked amazed. "Regina are you just going to let your little bitch talk to me like that?" Cora growled and looked at Regina. She smiled.

"Do not call her a little bitch Cora. She is an amazing mother to Henry and will be an amazing mother to our little girl. You need to leave because you are not welcome here." Regina said as she walked over to me and laid her hand on the small of my back.

"I am your mother and you will respect me." She spit angrily and Regina smirked. "If i recall correctly, 12 years ago you told me that i was not your daughter anymore. So you have no relation to me. Get out." Regina snarled and i bit my lip.

"Fine. Ruin your life. I don't care." Cora spit as she stormed out. When the door slammed shut, Regina released a deep breath and turned to me, cupping my cheeks in her hands. "You, my love, are amazing. But you're also an idiot. She could've hurt you." Regina said and i smiled.

"I was standing up for you. It would've been worth it." I said and she shook her head. "I love you so much." She said softly and leaned in, capturing my lips in hers.

We pulled away when air became a problem and she smiled. "Did i really just stand up to my mother?" She asked and i smiled before nodding. "You were so strong my love." I said and pulled her into a tight hug.

She wrapped her arms around me and we both smiled. "I can finally be happy and not have to worry about my mother ruining it." She whispered and i squeezed her tight.

"You're right my love. We can be a family and not have to ever worry about her again." I said and she nodded. Then i bit my lip.

"Is Henry your biological son?" I asked and her breathing hitched. "Yes. I'm sorry i didn't tell you sooner. At first i told you he was adopted because i didn't know how to explain without telling you about me and then after we got together, i just... didn't even think about it. i'm so sorry." She said and i frowned.

"Y-you said he was in an abusive home though-" "he was, baby. i didn't lie. My mother." She said sadly, cutting me off. I nodded. "i'm sorry. You deserve a better mother than her." I said and she shrugged.

"Growing up with her made me a strong woman." She said and i nodded. "A very strong, beautiful woman." I said and pulled her into my arms. She hummed and wrapped her arms around my waist.

"Your very strong, beautiful woman." She said and i blushed, but nodded nonetheless. "And you are my very strong, beautiful woman." She said smiling and i chuckled.

"Yes i am." I said, smiling. She smiled and gave me a peck on the lips. She bit her lip as she leaned her forehead on mine and i couldn't keep the smile off my face.

"Emma... i want to get married.."

There's an infestation in my mind's imagination,
I hope that they choke on smoke 'cause I'm smoking them out the basement,
This is not rap, this is not hip-hop,
Just another attempt to make the voices stop,
Rapping to prove nothing, just writing to say something,
'Cause I wasn't the only one who wasn't rushing to sayin' nothing,
This doesn't mean I lost my dream,
It's just right now I got a really crazy mind to clean.

Gangsters don't cry,

Nah, I didn't understand a thing you said,
If I didn't know better I'd guess you're all already dead,
Mindless zombies walking around with a limp and a hunch,
Saying stuff like, "You only live once."
You've got one time to figure it out,
One time to twist and one time to shout,
One time to think and I say we start now,
Sing it with me if you know what I'm talking about.

Gangsters don't cry,
